To Stop Snoring

to Stop Snoring

How can I Stop Snoring? I hear its pretty bad, and i need to stop!?

I’m about to get married, and my fiance can’t stand how i sleep! I MUST stop snoring so we can sleep in the same room at least when we get married. I have tried:
-Breath Rite strips, BR throat sprays, and BR mouth gargle
-nasal decongestant pills
-allergy medication
-I sleep on my side
-nasal sprays
almost everything, i would prefer not seeing a doctor, as I have no health insurance at the moment, i’m hoping for another solution!

Do you know for certain that you snore when you sleep on your side? Just because you start out in that position does not mean you stay that way the entire night. If you are right and you never sleep on your back but still snore, the other thing to take a look at is your weight. If you are not at your ideal body weight, that plays a big part in why people snore at night. If you are overweight, the snoring is not going to stop until you lose weight. If weight is not an issue for you, the only other option you have is the one you don’t want to do – see a doctor. It may be possible that you also have sleep Apnea, so going to the doctor would be a good idea.

Edit: strange how I get a thumbs down on my answer when I did not try to give you a diagnosis like some of the other answers you received. Not everyone who snores has Sleep Apnea, so how someone can tell you that your problem sounds like sleep apnea is strange. You did not list any symptoms except for snoring. I have seen many people who snore who do not have sleep apnea. Some of these people even tried some of the things you have tried and it did not stop the snoring, though they did not have apnea either. I’m not saying you don’t have apnea, but going from “I snore” to “sounds like you have sleep apnea” is a big jump without knowing anything else about you.
